  1. hey, I've just read through a few of the law-realated topic
    for Runicycling, and i wanted to know if anyone has any
    information about the Laws in Australia? I'm in Melbourne so
    any Victorain realated laws are what im specifically looking
    for, but any other state laws (if it falls under this
    category) would be a great refrance point too, Even laws
    that i can use as examples that distinguish B*kes from
    Runicycles that are in use in other countries would be
    helpful too, if I'm going to need to fix the current laws...

    I've been pulled up for riding down a no-through-road
    without a helmet and riding on the road by b*ke cops. They
    explained vagely that anything human driven with pedals is
    classified as a b*ke, but:
    1) they were b*ke cops, and
    2) they were b*ke cops.

    Well mebbe its technially one point, but i've had no
    trouble before when riding down *very* vacant streets when
    the footpath it just horrible (In the case when i was
    pulled up. Not that i can't handle it, just my tire was
    bald 🙂 ) before, where cops have been cruising the
    neiborhood. Nor have i had trouble with riding on the
    footpath, but it's all condradiction to me. Your not
    allowed to ride on the footpath if your a b*ke, but its
    just plain dangerous to mix Runicycles with traffic, even
    my friend who has a 30 inch and is planning to make a Runi
    out of a penny fathing wheel agrees.

    If it wasn't a B*ke cop mebbe i wouldn't be so inquisitive
    but i just want to clear things up, all the other police
    i've talked to have all distinguished the gap between B*ke
    and Runicycle.

    Anyhoo, if this makes any sence it's a miracle, Josh

  2. I quite often ride along footpaths on my unicycles and have
    never been pulled up for it. But then again, I've never met
    a bike cop. Sounds like you were very unlucky.

    Nice to meet you by the way, it's good to see more
    Aussie here.

    What's the significance of the 'R' in front of unicycle?

    Thanks, Andrew

    *Edit* - Ignore that last question...I just read your
    signature line.

  3. I'm not sure whether I've just gotten lucky or what, but I
    live next to a police station and am constantly riding my
    unicycle outside on the pavement without a helmet, I've
    definately noted them seeing me lots of times but they've
    never once commented on it?
